As one half of Ireland's most generous power couple, the mum-of-four proved her generosity once again at the Liz Lunch at Mansion House, raising funds for Chernobyl Children International (CCI).

Wearing a ball black ensemble, the brunette beauty led the charge of famous faces out to support charity board director Liz O’Donnell and Adi Roche.

RTE star Kathryn Thomas, wearing an Orla Kiely summer dress, was joined by her boyfriend Padraig McLoughlin, while Morah Ryan took her 2FM DJ daughter Lottie.

Guest MC Lisa Fitzpatrick kept guests entertained and also helped raise funds for the CCI.

The charity's CEO Adi Roche said:

“Thanks to the overwhelming support of everyone here at Liz’s Lunch today, (when put alongside the almost 30 years of work and enduring commitment of thousands of volunteer workers and donors North and South), we will be able to send a team of international paediatric cardiac surgeons to the region in the coming months.

"We are also looking at setting up a dedicated children’s cath lab in the cardiac unit atKharkiv Hospital, Ukraine," she added. This will greatly speed up the scale of the operations and reduce waiting times for these seriously-ill children."
